Positive Covid-19 case confirmed in Matamata-Piako

The Waikato DHB have just confirmed that there is a positive Covid-19 case in Waharoa. There is a pop up testing centre operating from 2 Cadman St, Waharoa from 3-7pm today (Monday 29 November). If anybody has symptoms, they are encouraged to be tested.

There are things we can all do to protect ourselves and our whānau from Covid-19, and to minimise the spread in our community:

  • Get vaccinated
  • Wear a face covering when you’re out
  • Keep track of where you have been – including turning on Bluetooth in the COVID-19 tracer app and scanning QR codes. If you don’t have a smart phone, make sure you keep a manual record.  
  • Wash and dry your hands regularly
  • Stay home if you’re sick, get a test and isolate at home until you get the result.
